PIGGY BANK

Piggy bank is used to save money; it is a ceramic money box which is hollow and made in the shape of a pig. On the top there is a narrow, open space through which coins can be dropped. Nowadays, they can be bought with a hole underneath and a cork to block it, so they can be emptied. In the past they were made without this and had to be broken to be emptied.
